Celebrating the work of the Kara-Tunga Foundation
The Ik community in North-East Uganda has a unique language and culture that is under threat due to marginalization and displacement through conflict and climate change. The Cultural Protection Fund is supporting the Kara-Tunga Foundation in our work to protect the cultural identity of the Ik community through documentation, community engagement and training. One of the most successful initiatives in our creative approach to safeguarding and promoting the Ik heritage has been to bring in a local artist to draw Ik community stories and myths and present them in the community's native language.
